    Environment has almost no impact on individuals. Genetics do. What we can do is provide training to eliminate the maximum ignorance, error, bias, deceit.

    Q: “ARE THE EDUCATED LESS SMART” (YES)

    1) It’s true statistically, and it has to be, because in the first part, pre 1960 it required at least a 115 IQ to enter any college, and now it’s possible for people with a 100 IQ and half the population to get into college.

    2) The second is due to the marxification of education in all the behavioral pseudosciences and the liberal (literary) arts, populated with these people. So we are seing the marxificadtion of civilization into pseudoscience, just as the christian’s overhwlemed the greek academies, and ushered in the ages of ignorance and decline.

    3) The third is the marxification of professors who not only seek self aggrandizement, but teach sedition against western civilization’s rule of law and individual responsibility.

    4) The fourth is decline in IQ due to urbanization, asymmetric reproduction, and non-selective imigration.

    5) The fifth is sortition largely due to urbanization and separation of the classes in the work force, which is the deprivation of the working and lower classes of access to the intelligent and educated – and visa versa, the deprivation of the educated from the demands of the lower middle to lower classes.

    6) Worse we are still ‘working off’ (casting off) the institutionalized ignorance of the introgression of semitic, jewish, female magical thinking and pseudoscience into the academy both pre and postwar, not only in marxism but in the assault on rule of law, meritocracy, responsibility by boaz, freud, marx, lewontin and gould, the entire frankfurt(culturla marxism) and postmodern(anti-truth) traditions, the anti family feminists in friedan, the libertarians rand and rothbard, the legal positivists rez, kelsen, dworkin, the mathematicians and physicists cantor, bohr, and einstien. And hundreds more. The two disasters that were ethnically european were both of southern european stock with the hunchback italian Gramsci, and the despondent brazilian Freire.

    So the evidence is that we have the same number of contributors to intellectual progress as we had in 1963 but we have many more people who ‘think’ they are educated.

    I’m not normal, but I eat most PhDs like pringles with beer. Because the academy is an ideological pseudo-religious disaster outside of the stem fields, and even there is questionable.

    No I don’t like working on this subject because it’s depressing and exasperating to realize we are living in an age of new mysticism – a pseudoscientific religious revolt against european civilization because the intellectual, psychological, and emotional demands of european civilization that produce the gains of european civilization are higher than the demands of all other civilizations combined.

    1. Not an argument that contradicts anything I’ve said.
    2. Yes, the purpose of adversarial debate on social media is to educate the audience. The purpose of ALL debate is to educate the audience. The audience is the jury.
    3. The reason being that almost all people (all but a tiny few) are bots justifying genetic and developmental biases, by collecting means of satisfying them, while claiming they have competency.

    Like I said, Jesse. You are shallow and transparent. And. you opened with insult, you doubled down with evasion, and now you’re doubling down with rallying.

    You don’t know you’re a bot. We do. You’re just a midwit enough to perform better in your use of feminine sophistry, manipulation, and deceit which is why you make a better example.

    Earl.
    (a) there aren’t many, despite our desperate search for them. We can’t find a single woman that’s theoretical rather than empirical.
    (b) There has been a postwar (really post-1960) decline in scientific thought brought about by the introgression of pseudoscience and ‘mathiness’ (the mathematical equivalent) and we appear to just be coming out of it.
    (c) I’ve done extensive work on civilizational differences in thought – more than any other – by studying civilizational differences in argument and lying. So Europeans aren’t just W.I.E.R.D., we really do think differently. And high trust oddly makes you think differently too. And even so subtle a thing as English language being evolved for law and as such for science has an effect on cognition, and particularly for innovative cognition.
    (d) I can’t verify (yet) if the claims that the northern European gene pool is biased to the autistic end of the spectrum (Systematizing). But we’ll know within a decade or so.
    So pre-war claims that people in different civilizations thought differently were only overstated. They weren’t false. Which… has been surprising to all of us.

    I think it’s funny that most of our staff that’s not speaking English natively has greater facility with the English language than native speakers, about a broader and more difficult range of subjects and in greater precision and detail.

    Q: “Curt: Let us assume that science gets rid of these pseudoscientific intellectuals. What would be so beneficial?”

    Great question.

    Our evidence so far, and admittedly it’s not a large population, is that just as physical science has converted man from many particular rules to a few general rules and the result has been about a standard deviation in performance despite the same brains – though not as much as greek reason, not as much as language but still a leap – my (our) work has produced about the same increase in measurable performance, because there is literally nothing we cannot understand and explain at least at human scale. This is because there is a very simple, painfully simple logic to the universe at all scales.

    So to address the ‘why’? At the very least, there is a serious problem of the relationship between cognitive performance and economic and political condition, and therefore qualit of life, and the slope is not linear – it’s terrifying.

    So while before the industrial revolution it appears that europeans had 105iq’s and the brits even higher, in America, because of immigration, urbanization, and asymmetric reproduction we have dropped below an average 100IQ points, and there is a cliff at about 97, which we should hit any year now. This is causing economic bifurcation which is causing political bifurcation, and the numbers are devastating.

    So a shift by a standard deviation, through a revolution in education (which we all know we are due for) would compensate for the loss of IQ, and the economic and political consequences of the present bifurcation. Even we were to politically separate into feminine-irresponsible-left and masculine-responsibile-right states (which I expect will occur this century) it will still produce benefits for everyone.

    It’s one thing to lose strategic advantage, an other to lose economic advantage, another to lose technological advantage, an other to lose scientific advantage, but the worst are to lose cultural (formal and informal institutions) advantage, or genetic advantage, because you can fix everything else but those two.

    So yes, nearly every field will require and benefit from some reformation, and yes I’ve done the primary work on most fields (by 2017 really).

    We lost a thousand years in europe last time to the abrahamic destruction of human thought – and we still haven’t fully recovered from it. Seven great civilizations of the ancient world were reduced to ignorance and superstition, intellectual, techonlogical, cultural and aesthetic destruction by Islam alone. At present the introgression of similar thought has cost us a century during which we still have progressed thanks to consuming the innovations produced largely in the german academy, just like we had advanced by innovations largely produced in scotland before, and england before that.

    So yes we will uncover incremental improvements – but in all walks of life. But more importntly, we we do not succeed, if the left’s pseudoscientific replacement for theology isn’t defeated, we’re just as likely to either repeat the dark ages, or worse, succumb to the ignorance and superstition of abrahamic religion version two.
